New gearbox,when one was NOT needed!
Oil leak
Broken plastic lugs on both sun-visors
Fan blower unit broken.
The car is unreliable, and it seems their quality control in extremely variable. The magazine reviews praise the car, but the annual JD Power and other car buyers reports accurately mention it's less than satisfactory reliability and dealer service.
The dealers are a disaster; rude, uncaring.. even unknowledgeable!
The auto gearbox is badly mated to the 1.9 turbo-diesel engine, in that the gear changes to 3rd and 4th are delayed. When I mentioned this and that it seemed the box was faulty, they agreed. It took 4 months to get the box, and then the new, replacement box does exactly the same as the previous one did!
To drive, its OK. On balance, no more VW cars for me.
Compared to the Toyota you used to have, you simply cannot expect VW's to offer the same level of quality and reliability.
